Question

A). a car cost 34% more today than when it was sold. if the original cost of the car was $90000. find its price today.

b). during a sale, the price of a bicycle dropped from $160 to $125. what was the percentage decrease in price?​

Answer 1

A) If the original cost of the car was $90000 and it now costs 34% more, the price has increased by 0.34*90000 = $30600. Therefore, the price today is 90000+30600 = $120600.

B) During the sale, the price of the bicycle dropped from $160 to $125, a difference of 160-125 = $35. This represents a decrease in price of 35/160 = 21.875%. Therefore, the percentage decrease in price is approximately 22%.
